well, we're back from our weekend trip to disney. we wanted to surprise sarah kate with an early birthday trip and couldn't think of a better place to go than the big mouse's house. she loved it so much in december and we wanted to take her on one last lucy family vacation as a family of 3.
i know i must seem like a crazy person going to crowded disney in the heat of may at 31 weeks pregnant. it was worth every second. it was worth the very long days, the lines and the miles of walking. it really really was. sarah kate had a blast! she was such a little trooper, loved every single thing we did and kept her sweet and excited little demeanor the whole time with no naps or rest time. i was so proud of her! she's at such a fun age for disney. i was also really proud of her for not having any potty accidents. we potty trained her in march and she has done great and i know that she has been trained for a couple of months, but i was still nervous about the long lines and monorail rides and such. but she just didn't have any problems with it at all. what a relief.

| mickey and i are ready to do this!! c'mon mom and dad! |
so i'm so glad we did it! trey and i had a blast, too. it was a really fun trip. trey and i (lovingly) always make fun of jonathan and ashley for being disney dorks. they've only been to disney like 6 or 7 times since the girls were born. so my mom has been making fun of trey and i for ever making fun of j&a. however, i still do not believe that trey and i are on their level of disney dorkiness just yet. they have even gone to disney a couple of times since having the twins WITHOUT the twins. so until we start going to disney without our children then i don't believe we are on their level....yet. we had dinner saturday night at the grand floridian and trey nor i would mind taking a little couple's vacay to that beautiful place;) ;)
 |
| her first roller coaster ride. she loved this! i couldn't get a pic of them because it was going too fast but they are in that last car there at the top and that is trey you see=) sk said, "it was just a little bit scarey, mommy. we went up, up, up and down, down, down!" | | |
|
 |
| getting off the coaster=) i wasn't sure if she'd come off laughing, crying or barfing. i was so glad to see that big smile! |
 |
| icecream break! |
|
 |
| getting all ready to meet with the princesses. we got her an autograph book this time so the princesses & other characters could sign it for her. she took the meetings as seriously as she did in december. |

|
 |
| on friday she made it to the car, but was asleep soon after we started going. we were there from 1pm until about 8:30 on friday. she was a tired bug! |
|
pictures day 2 -saturday!!!
so saturday was our really long day at the magic kingdom. we were there from about 10 am until after 10 that night. we re-rode some of her favorites and then rode the rides that we missed on friday. we left the park and took the monorail to the grande floridian for dinner and then re-entered the park for a couple more hours of fun.
 |
| headed to the monorail! so excited to be going back to the magic kingdom for day 2. anna made her little belle dress for her and she loved it! trey bought her the princess flip-flops as her gift from the first day. on saturday she picked out a tiana nightgown that she is completely obsessed with. |
|
 |

 |
| in line for dumbo! had to ride that again! |

 |
| catching another parade |
 |
| getting her autograph book and pen all ready for her meeting with mickey and minnie.... |
 |
| seeing the firework show - last event of the night! |
 |
| sk got to choose a treat from the candy store. if you know my child really really well then you know that when she was done with this lollipop that it looked pretty much the exact same way it did when we bought it. but boy those few licks were so exciting=) |
|
 |
| this happened before we even got off the monorail. she didn't even wake up when we put her in the car. then she slept until 9:30 sunday morning. ha! |
|
and back at the hotel.......
i personally felt the need to shower, but these 2 just went straight to sleep. our hotel has a character breakfast every sunday morning at 8:30. it was going to be our last disney event before heading back to folkston, but sarah kate slept until 9:30 and we decided to just let her sleep. she doesn't know she missed mickey and the gang - we hadn't told her about the breakfast. we ate breakfast around 10:30 and a couple of "characters" (aka...some wolf and a big bear) came over to our table and played with her for a little while. she was very satisfied with her visitors and her mickey shaped waffle. ha...she looked at the waffle and said, "hey mickey, i'm about to eat your ears off." and she did. then she said, "i got mickey mouse's ears in my mouf."
she has enjoyed telling different people today all about her trip. she wants to go back of course.
and meanwhile at the lucy house this was going on......
paint, paint, paint!! they are ALMOST done. the electrician will come tomorrow to do all the electrical work. i love it. it's so peaceful and beautiful and i love our "piazza" blue ceiling. and now i don't want to put any toys out here. ha!
sk will spend this coming weekend down in folkston with her mimi and papa while trey and i get some work done around the house (and we're going to take in a spoleto event friday night!). we are going to hickory, nc early saturday morning to pick up a couch for the sunroom. we'll also get our rug and our blinds. we just have alot we need to get done before hayes arrives and we appreciate my parents for taking sarah bug for us to really be able to do some work.
baby hayes continues to be an active little lady and is passing all her kick counts. we look forward to seeing her sweet little face again in one week.
we can't wait until she is here to enjoy our lucy family vacations with us!!
